Staff and Speakers

Benji and Alanna Alexander - Directors

Associate pastors at Fiordland New Life Church and the founding Directors of Revival School Aotearoa New Zealand.

In 2002, when Benji was 18, God called him to give his life for national revival in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Convinced that God had spoken to him, and convinced that national revival was a certain promise from God, Benji embraced the call to invest his life in national revival. Benji is ablaze with a passion to reveal the unconditional love and delight of our Father in Heaven, and to raise up catalysts and stewards of revival who walk in the fullness of the intimacy, identity and destiny found in Jesus.

Benji and Alanna have a massive value of building family. Revival School is characterised by a deep sense of family, but it all starts in their home, where Alanna has embraced one of the highest callings on the planet – to be a full time Mum to their young children Ezra and Zoe.

They both love cross cultural ministry and reaching the unreached with the good news of Jesus, and between them they have been on, and led, teams to Fiji, India, Thailand, South Korea, Burma, Vietnam, China, Mozambique and Tanzania. Both in New Zealand and in the nations they have been privileged to see the love of the Father revealed, and lives transformed by the love and power of the Holy Spirit that continues to flow in their lives and ministry.

Andy Piggott

Andy and his wife Diana have been married since 2005 and – as well as Andy being the Associate director of Kingdom Life School – are the senior leaders of Bethel Church in Whangarei, New Zealand. Before the turning point in Andy's life he had only been confronted with arguments for Christ. When he first experienced the presence and supernatural demonstration of God it brought a change of heart that no argument had been able to generate. As a consequence, due to the impact of this on his own life, he has set his heart after the tangible presence and demonstration of the power of God to reveal the love of God towards all of humanity. Through various prophetic experiences and encounters Andy and Diana have come to know that the main thing is to pursue deep connection in relationship with God. Even revival and supernatural power must not be a distraction from the ever deepening experience of "knowing Christ Jesus" (Phil 3:8).
